Across a hundred sunsets
Beyond your wildest dreams
A bridge awaits your footsteps
To places you've not seen
You've sensed it in the midnight
In starlight's silvery glow
The soft touch of a memory
From very long ago
A distant song caresses
A heart so full of sighs
The weight of all your sorrow
Is lifted for a while
The crickets keep the rhythm
A gentle thought remains
Your innocence remembers
A time before the pain
Keep faith and you will see it
This place at journey's end
A paradise He's made for you
You'll cross that bridge with Him
